Learn about the user custom actions, which are part of file managers
from xfce and gnome.  For Thunar check the project wiki, it has
documentation about them (http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki), and for
Nautilus I know it has it too but I don't use it.  With them you can
right click files and have them listed in the context menu.
